    While at runtime shifts are unchecked (that is, they can be for any number of bits), to prevent common mistakes, the compiler is stricter at compile-time and will prevent out of bounds shifts. For instance, at runtime, ``1 << 257`` will evaluate to ``0``, while that expression at compile-time will raise an ``OverflowException``.
 
 .. note::
-   Integer division is implemented using the EVM opcode ``SDIV``. This has different rounding semantics than python for negative numbers: ``SDIV`` rounds towards zero, while python rounds towards negative infinity. For example, ``-1 // 2` will return ``-1`` in python, but ``0`` in vyper.
